June: a month of synopses, reviews, and plot summaries of books I have never read.
Founding Brothers by Joeseph J. Ellis is the story of America's first bromance. Two-hundred and Fifty-ish years ago, these men, too smart and passionate for their own good, had a crazy idea. They set out on a quest to spread the freedom to chop down any Cherry tree that got in their way, to enjoy the company of many fine woman half their age and girth, or to have quiet evenings at home with a loving wife without having to worry about defending some fools from across the pond who couldn't tell the difference between a commander's and a rioter's voice.
Read along as the original American frat boys (and you thought the Masons were about power?) stumble over themselves, each other, and all the rules to create a nation of fun. Their friendship will be tested by kings and commoners alike. Can they pull themselves together, and come to terms with their differences to defeat an empire?
This is the ultimate story of brothers from so many other mothers who manage to find themselves, only by finding America.
